How's Ultimate?

The same thing can be said for the Feast and it's rewards, but at least everyone can try the Feast, and it lasts beyond a short window of time. This cuts out 90% of the players from the start. Most people will only interact with it if they choose to watch someone's stream. Thats not a particularly good trend in content design for this game, especially since Stormblood is ridiculously content-light.

Thank you someone that thinks logical like I said, everyone else is looking through rose colored glasses. I'm sorry but the most hard core raiders don't deserve their own content simply because it's not enough of them to warrant being catered to. And I'm not even opposed to the idea of ultimate. It's just highlighted because of how lacking in content this patch is. If they bring out stuff like this it should always be accompanied with something equivalent for other players.

I like how you have one person in a sea of people who agrees with you, and clearly they're "logical." I'll reiterate once again, if the hardcore raiders all begin quitting because the game no longer appeals to them in anyway. Who is making guides; who is joining PFs to help players get their clears? All the guides you see explaining the finer details and job intricacies are done by hardcore players-- the same community who think deserves nothing. The whole Theme Park genre intends to offer content for every demographic, be they hardcore raiders, roleplayers or people simply looking to have fun running a dungeon. If you divvy up this content individually, you'll discover things like crafting, gathering and even certain job (Machinist) have a rather niche audience. I suppose the devs should cut out crafting and PvP. After all, those aren't nearly as popular.

Again, it's one thing to complain 4.1 lacks content. Just stop blaming Ultimate because it has absolutely no bearing on why 4.1 may or may not feel empty.

I didn't really have an issue with your postings up until you said that. Everyone else is coming down on you because you are continually turning an argument into something its not. Raiders don't deserve their own content? Seriously, it's just ONE fight. Its not even a set of four raids, it's one fight. And again, I have to point out that you are complaining when we are only one patch into this cycle. What exactly do you want the devs to be able to pull off in just four months since Stormblood's initial release?

It is honestly sounding like you want the devs to ignore the hardcore population and just produce patches specifically for casual and midcores. A lot of folks have already pointed out that the hardcores are getting something for them - it's one thing, as opposed to what we've already gotten so far. This 'me, me, me' attitude is immature. Just wait until 4.2. What is so hard about that? Or...oh, I dunno, find something else to do within FFXIV, or just take a break and wait til something catches your interest again. If the devs listened to you, there probably wouldn't be an Ultimate fight. 4.1 was originally supposed to have Eureka, if I remember correctly - the devs probably saw something and they pushed it back.
